An Idyllic Life

Before this beyond-troubling development, it appeared Pazienza had the perfect life. She was raised in a well-off family that, according to Facebook photos and the New York Post, frequently vacationed in places like Aruba, Paris, and Florida. 

She moved to the city and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, afterwards working as a marketing and events coordinator, most recently for high-end French furniture company Roche Bobois. She was even in the midst of planning her wedding to her fiancé, a Microsoft customer service specialist (her wedding website has, however, been recently taken down).
